How to add a attribute or property to a EAttribute type? [message #1822505] Mon, 09 March 2020 02:22 Go to next message

I have a EMF ecore model where I have defined a EAttribute to EClass type, let's say EClass type Software and created Commit EAttribute. I made this to use EAnnotation to make Commit always as element using ExtendedMetaData and in xml it looks like this
<Software>
        <Commit>blabla</commit>
<Software> 


So far so good, but now there is a requirement comes that to add attribute/property lets say [b]repo[b] to be added to Commit type. So I planned to create Commit as EClass type instead of EAttribute and added 2 EAttribute type Commit and Repo. Then the problem arise because commit value is also coming as an attribute/property to Commit tag. it looks like this
<Software>
      <Commit repo="blarepo" commit="blabla"/>
<Software> 


I want to have the ouput something like this
<Software>
      <Commit repo="blarepo">blabla</commit>
<Software> 


Could you please tell me how to achieve this case using ecore model.

Thank you very much in advance.

I think the extended metadata annotation for the Commit EClass needs to be simple and then one EAttribute can have extended metadata annotation kind simple so that it's serialized as the simple element content of the Commit EClass.

In Ecore only classes have attributes. So, if something needs to have an attribute it must be a class.

Cheers
